examNord
This is a package with Rmarkdown template for producing Exam tasks. The usage of template ensures a compliance with requirements as they are in Spring 2018.
To use package, it should be installed.
Installation
Before usage of this template, you should install this package:
devtools::install_github("ev-ant/examNord")
To use
After the installation, this package needs to be loaded:
library("examNord", lib.loc="<local_library_location>")
When creating a new Rmarkdown, choose an option "From Template" and select the one with name "Exam tasks at Nord University".
If package "examNord" is loaded, but there is no mentioned template in the list, restart R session.
More on usage
Currently, the template loads a minimum of packages to ensure work mostly with text. If some extra \LaTeX packages are needed, add them into a custom.tex file. The next packages will be loaded anyway:
-
\usepackage{lmodern} -
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath} -
\usepackage{ifxetex,ifluatex} -
\usepackage{fixltx2e}% provides \textsubscript -
\usepackage{geometry} -
\usepackage{hyperref} -
\urlstyle{same}% don't use monospace font for urls -
\usepackage{graphicx,grffile} -
\usepackage{titling} -
\usepackage{xunicode} -
\usepackage{xltxtra} -
\usepackage{fancyhdr} -
\usepackage{titlesec}
Since the template relies on extra files with specification of style, an update unsures that only new .Rmd will get updated template.
An easy solution to use template with updated styling, is to copy examNord.sty and frontpage.tex to your older folders.
To ensure a proper total number of pages in header, keep command \noAttachment at the very end of the document.
